AnyConnect is the actual SSL VPN client itself. It is responsible to create a remote access tunnel back to your ASA and encrypt packets between your host towards the HQ.

Here is more information on AnyConnect for your reference:

Secure Desktop is the advance feature of SSL VPN, ie: provides end host scan, cache cleaner, secure desktop vault, prelogin assessment, etc.

Here is more information on Secure Desktop for your reference:

Hope that helps.
